Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: beano at 5.0 against Caffeine App's 4.6. beano also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Caffeine App's advantage is ratings volume (340 vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
